(Photo credit: Fearless Records) (Interview answered by Justin deBlieck) You wrote “Enjoy Your Slay” after polling fans to ask if they’d prefer a song based off of The Shining or Psycho. I love that kind of fan inclusion! Not only that, but the song features vocals from the grandson of Stanley Kubrick, Sam Kubrick. Which again is just so above and beyond what most bands are doing. Did you have any inspiration for that kind of creativity and ambition or has that always been part of your vision? We’ve always felt…

We caught up with Field Report just after this May’s Boston Calling to chat with Chris Porterfield about their latest album ‘Summertime Songs’, what makes their hometown of Milwaukee so special, and their artist recommendation for readers. Take a read and catch the band on tour this Summer/Fall. Please follow and like us:

(Photo credit: CharlesWrzesniewski) The Menzingers have it going on. Their last release, After the Party is one of my favorite new albums (and I’m not alone in that—it’s been highly regarded as one of the band’s best releases), and they’re currently on tour with Frank Turner and Lucero. Before they hit the road with Frank Turner and co. they made a stop at Boston Calling to play alongside weekend headliners The National, Alvvays, Eminem, The Killers, and more, which is where we caught up with them to discuss their most recent release,…

Christina LaRocca is a singer songwriter from New York that landed in Los Angeles with fire in her heart. She has shared the stage with big names such as Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day and Rachel Platten. Check out our interview below! The video for “Child of the Sun” was just released earlier this month! What was it like filming in the middle of desert? It was wild. It was at least 105 degrees that weekend in Joshua Tree, probably closer to 110 or higher on those wide shots we…

It’s been less than a year since I was first introduced to Brightside, and the time I’ve spent getting to know them is even shorter. But these are two facts that I tend to forget quite often. You see, these five talented musicians from Tallahassee make you feel like a lifelong friend from the instant you say “hello” to them. The best way to describe them is “approachable.” They will have a conversation with anyone who walks up to them. Literally anyone. The amount of interruptions that will occur during…

On the road to Seattle for their current tour with Knuckle Puck, Movements’ bassist Austin Cressey took the time to chat with Infectious’ own Sami Marshall. The conversation took place three days before the band was to release their debut full-length record Feel Something. The two talked about the differences between creating an EP compared to a full-length, how a parental advisory didn’t stop him from buying his first record, and selling out a hometown show. You can check out the full exclusive interview after the jump! Movements released Feel Something on October 20th and you can…

Thanks so much for taking the time to speak with me! Let’s dive right into it—what is the proudest accomplishment of your band’s career this far? A: My pleasure! There are actually two answers to that – I’d say the largest tangible accomplishment we’ve had so far was being chosen for Substream Magazine’s “Substream Approved” section earlier this year, especially so soon into our existence as a band. Eva and I are both super proud of that. However, on the more personal side of things – the thing I’m proudest…

How’s it going?! How’d you enjoy your Warped Tour experience this year in Mansfield? It seems to rain every year, but this year was intense! Joshua Herzer (Vocals): It’s always an honor to join Warped Tour, even for just a day. It’s amazing that after all these years we can still rely on New England coming out and sharing the experience with us. The monsoon conditions were a bit ridiculous, but ultimately the sweat and rain combine and you just learn to accept the soppyness. You recently released the music…

On one of the final days of their Mixtape Tour, Sami Marshall had the pleasure of chatting with Tallahassee’s Brightside when they made a stop in Jacksonville, Florida at the Murray Hill Theatre. The guys talked about practicing more than their songs on stage, turning fans into friends, and tour plans that could only happen with a time machine. You can check out the full exclusive interview below! To hear more from Brightside you can purchase a CD here. Keep up and become friends with the guys by following them on social media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Website | YouTube…

Odds are if you own a radio or have ears, you’re familiar with American Authors—especially their hits “Best Day Of My Life”, which saw enormous success after appearing in a UK Hyundai commercial, as well as the insanely catchy “Believer.” What you may not know is what’s pushed the band from struggling NYC act to the major label act they are today, along with the current challenges of being a touring band, and their advice to emerging musicians. Check out our video interview below or scroll a bit further for the…
